When I was taking this picture I was trying to make my cat in focus and the background out of focus, but the background was in focus. I think it adds a little more to the picture then it would have by having a blurred backround.

Go Skate Day

By Dillon W.
I chose this photo because my friends and I were out skating and I was taking a few pictures. I thought this one turned out pretty good. I really didn’t do much I just gave it a pretty high shutter speed so he wasn’t all blurry and instead of getting the whole body shot I decided the feet and board would be fine.

I took this picture after it randomly started pouring rain, and there was this orange thingy, which I can’t remember what they’re called. I was attempting to get the closer orange light thing in focus while leaving the rest in the background blurry. I think it was slightly unique that I was standing in a big mud puddle? People don’t normally do that. I had the camera on manual focus because that is much cooler and easier to focus what you want to see than auto focus. I was pleased pleasantly with my photo because this picture shows exactly what I saw when looking through the lens, although I lightened the exposure a bit through photoshop, so it looked nicer than it already did.

Central Lima at night

This picture I took this summer on my trip to visit my family in Lima, Peru. I love the scenery especially at night there, so I didn’t need to adjust much in Photoshop. I think the lights in the church in the picture really make it stand out, the inner glow it has on the pictures really surprised me in the end, made the architecture stand out from the rest of the buildings.

I took this picture of a dandelion when I was at my dads. I tried to blow on it so I could capture the seeds scattering but they didn’t really move. I like how the background is out of focus.

Summer Flower

I took this picture this summer in my front yard. I like it a lot the texture of the flower shows a lot and makes me think of summer. I love the way it has other flowers blurred out in the background giving the front flower a better and bolder look.

Harley

This is one of my dogs Harley. I choose this picture because I like how dark the grass looks and it makes him look so much brighter. All I did was adjust the color just a little bit to make it stand out just a little more. I was surprised to see that he would sit still long enough to even take the picture.

This is my little nephew Amir. He’s almost a month old now. I love this picture because there is so much color and its captures a memory for him to look at later on. The little birdie in the picture is blurred out and it just makes the picture so much more interesting to look at. He’s just so ADORABLE!

Chocolate chip cookies!

Photo by Sara Di.

I chose this picture because, so far this year, it’s my best. I like how close up it is of the cookies, and how it gives you a craving. I also like the shining of the light on the cookies, and how there are some cookies in the front and back so it gives it depth.

It Speaks for Itself

This is a picture I took of my friend Dan. I really like the way his eyes are looking. I took the picture in color and then adjusted the hue after I made it black and white. Then I colored in his ribbon. I think the ribbon really makes it stand out, and gets the meaning of the picture across. I love how it turned out.
